Hello! I've been working with the arr stack for common and popular file types (linux ISOs off course!), connected to jellyfin.

I've set up Readarr recently and I have a hard time getting it to find good, well documented sources. Book titles and formats are not often set correctly on public trackers.

Do any of you have good suggestions to improve the workflow? It seems I always have to manually pick the torrent, then manually import in JF. It usually works great for videos.

I had the same problem and eventually abandoned it. Even though I had good results with it finding content, the book metadata is usually terrible and I end up having to manually fix it in Calibre and then force download metadata and cover art.

If I’m already having to do that anyway, might as well just acquire the book manually and import it myself.
